  • SAFErating from user Ianr for file C:\Windows\System32\audiodg.exe (Variant: 676003)

    audiodg.exe is a minor threat to battery life due to it running the CPU when no audio related activity. On my Lenovo E530, System Explorer shows it using 1-2% of CPU continuously when the laptop is idle. This keeps "flicking" the power conserving "Balanced Mode" from low CPU/GPU clock rate to high. Annoying and appears to be poor programming.
